REGARDING FEATHERS.

Various Virtues That Are Sufficient
Guarantee for Their Continued Favor.
Who can imagine gallant cavalier
of Eye olden time" going off to the
wars without a waving plume in his
cap. Why, its absence would so en-
tirely mar the effect that the knight
would scarcely seem worth ones adj
miration! Long before the age OF
chivalry quaint ideas were extant re-
garding feathers, and some of our
well-know, sayings owe their origin
to the waving plumes.
"To plume one's-self'' comes from
the Hungarians, who placed in their
caps feather for each Turk killed aud,
therefore, were decorated according to
yalor. The use of the white feather
as sign of withdrawal from a contest
or as a truce undoubtedly arose from
the fact that in leaving the field the
white feathers were most easily seen.
The sending of white feather to one
who intended fighting meant, usually,
warning from some friend that dis
erection would be the better part Of
yalOr.
The question has often been asked
why the feathers of the peacock, beau-
tiful as they are, have the reputation
of bringing bad luck to the wcarcr.
The East Indians and the North Ameri-
can Indians believe that feathers en-
dow their owner with the vices or
virtues of the bird from which they are
plucked, and as the peacock is vain,
arrogant and greedy, he can scarcely
endow one with all the virtues. The
kingfsher has been highly honored
bird, and to possess one OF his
feathers or bit of his skin has
meant great fortune. The Tartars firm
" believe that he who touches beauti-
full woman with a kingfsher's feather
will gain her love.
People who appreciate the beauty OF
fine ostrich feathers can imagine the
appearance of helmets formed entirely
of them; and yet they were so used by
the ancients without thought, appar'
emily, of their ornamental value. Some
old paintings show the artists love foi
plumes of various kinds: the peacock
! fans wave before an Eastern beauty,
the long, white plumes in some hero 8
hat, the heron's feather in the saucy
pages cap, while the plumes that fall
| far down on white and dimpled should
ers are depicted with the prominence
i they deserve.
! Womanklnd, doubtless, will always
! approve of feathers-they are graceful
and becoming, adaptive and elegant

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.
The Question of Working and Sailing Blu
ter Discussed by an Authority.

The Question Of Working and Sailing Butt
ter Discussed by an Authority.
Mr.. John Gould, upon the question
of working and sailing butter says:
eff there is 10 sac about the butter
globule to rubkff, then there are a few
methods that We need to change about
churning. We should skim the milk
before it thickens, so as not to coat
these globules of cream with sour
milk; thoroughly mix and stir the
cream each time new article is added;
promote ripening by keeping the cream
several hours before churning, at the
churning temperature, to get this
ripening in advance of the usual
souring; churn in revolving churns.
having the cream more fluid in
it's character than is usual with
thick sour cream, now that we know
about its structure. The motion or
movement like pouring water is the
correct principle, and is best secured in
revolving churn, and we get the best
results when the cream is somewhat
thin and the churn is about three-
Fights full.
''The great object is to preserve the
grain of the butter, and to do this,
washing the butter is far preferable to
working out the buttermilk. No but
ter-worker yet made can fully take out
the butternilk from butter without
breaking these globules and making
the butter more or less salvey. If the
butter is washed free from buttermilk
there is no occasion to work over the
butter; all that is needed is to press
out the surplus moisture and fashion
the butter into form. and this can be
done almost wholly in packing.
"Then in sailing we can save or de-
stroy this grain. Butter should be
sailed when very wet and use just
what salt will dissolve readily, and no
more. If we first work over the butter
and get out the moisture, and then
put on and work in dry salt, we cut
the grain out of the butter with the
crystals of salt, and have not sailed
the butter either The only object OF
salt and its only Office is to coat each
of these globules with film of brine,
liquid salt. and seal. if we can, the fat
from the action of the air, and then we
put on another coat in the form of the
package, to further preserve it, the
last having quite as much to do with
the keeping of the butter as the salt.
If we use more salt than will dissolve
we are only adding something to
sharpen our teeth. which can be
done with more comfort in some other

How Persian Jewelrx Is Made.

As goldsmiths and jewelers. the Per
SLAMS are experts, and jewelry is by no
means the exclusive luxury Of the rich. In
the first place it is cheap. The most skill
full jewellers are glad to work for two shil'
lings day and the profit they can make
on the very small amount of solder they
are permitted to use. The Persian seldom
buys his jewelry ready-made; he orders
it. When the various pieces have beer
cast or cut out from the metal supplied by
the customer, they are brought TO him fol
inspection and carefully weighed. Then
the article is put together, either in the
customers own house and under his eye
or under the supervision of his servant
Then it is again weighed, then chased ane
finished, the filings and waste being col
lected and credited to the customer.

said to have helped to lay the founda-

product, the hog. it was lis the not
very remote past almost the sole
food supply of the rural districts, and
the dishes that can be prepared
from its various forms are OF much
greater variety than can be prepared
from wheat. Like Sambo's rabbit, it
is good to roast, to bake or DOLL, and
can be fermented and turned into
whisky, but its stimulating qualities
are best procured by making it into a
mush. 1t contains large amount Of
nitrogen, has qualities anti-constipat-

TWO CENTURIES AGO.

Glimpse at the Social Conditions of En-
gland in the Seventeenth Century.
Most of the iron used in England at
that time was imported and coal was
used for domestic purposes only.
No canals had been dug and during
a great part of the year most of the
roads were impossible for vehicles.
The population of England 200 years
ago was about five millions; at the last
census England and Wales numbered
1884, 439.
The amount of money raised by taxa
ton was very much smaller than at
present, the oppressive chimney tax
being chief source of income.
The judges were unanimously Of
opinion that by the common Jaw OF
England no man not authorized by the
crown had right to publish political
news.
Four-fifths of the common people
were employed in agriculture at four
pence day with food-eight pence
without food. Four shillings week
was considered fair average wage.
The sheep and cattle at that time
were very diminutive; and the native
horses, though serviceable, were held
in small esteem and fetched low prices
about fifty shillings each.
An English mechanic could exact q
shilling day-hand-loom weavers had
been reduced to six pence aday. Brick
layers were employed for the most part
only in summer at half crown a day;
plumbers three shillings.
At Enfield, hardly out of the sight Of
London, was a region of five and twen-
ty miles in circumference which con-
tanned only three houses and scarcely
any inclosed fields. Deer. as free as
in an American forest, wandered there
by thousands.
The great majority of the nation
lived almost entirely rye, barley and
oats. Almost all essential articles
were dearer then than now-sugar, salt,
candles, soap, shoes, and generally all
articles of bedding. Blankets were I'M
known until 1905. The class below the
laborer and the artisan, one-fourth Of
the whole population depended upon
parochial relief. having no other means
of living.
A large proportion of the country
north of the Trent, down to the eight
eenth century, was in a state of bar
barism In Northumberland blood
hounds were kept to track robbers.
The judges on circuit, with the sheriff
and armed retainers. had to carry their
provisions with them, for between New
castle and Carlisle was wilderness
which afforded no supplies and was full
of danger.-Chicago Ne,os

HIS ONE HIGH HAT.
The Only Occasion on which Henry Ward

The Only Occasion on Which Henry Ward
Beecher Wore Silk Tile.
Major Ponds attention was called to the
statement which has been published, and
which has been received with general
credence, that Mr.. Beecher never wore
silk hat. Mr.. Beecher's manager smiled
and then, according to the New York
Tribune, quickly exclaimed: "Only once.
must tell you about that. It was at Mr..
Beecher's house one afternoon, and we
were to leave the house at four o. clock in
order to catch train. Mr.. Beecher, &C
cording to his custom on an afternoon,
had laid down for nap. / was in the
library, when, as the hour approached.
Mrs. Beecher called my attention to the
fact and asked where Mr.. Beecher was.
l went up to call him, but he was not in
his room. went down stairs and
thought l would get my hat,
which was a silk one.
could not find it where had left it, in the
hallway. Just then Mrs. Beecher called
my attention to the front of the house.
Mr.. Beecher had cardigan jacket which
he used to wear around the house at
times, and you can imagine that it was not
particularly becoming to his form. went
to where Mrs. Beecher stood and looked
out. There in the middle of the street,
with lot of children around him, was
Mr.. Beecher in his cardigan, my silk hat
o. his head, and stick in his mouth with
strings attached as children make bits,
and he was prancing up and down and
back and forth and playing horse with the
youngsters. You would have died a
laughing seeing that sight. Henry ex.
! claimed Mrs. Beecher, what on earth are
! you doing! Do you know what sight you
are! You will lose the train
"Mr. Beecher stopped, drew out his
watch-he always carried q tirst-class
timekeeper-and replying as he put it
back, No, won't; I've got two minutes
YETI off he galloped with the children at
his heels in high glee. He used up the
two minutes and we just caught the fer
I; ryboat in time. Many time have we
barely caught the last boat; but Mr..
Beecher's watch was as true as steel, and
he always calculated apparently to the
second. When he got on the ferrybo he
, never stopped until he landed in the
pilot-house. He had the key to them and
every pilot knew him, and there he would
go and stay until the boat got to her land.

Again, it is common for team to be
driven rapidly down hill. This, too,
is all wrong, lameness and stiffness
often occurring as result. In both
rising and descending a hill a team
should be made to move slowly.

Shrinkage of Flannel.

To keep fannels as much as possible
from shrinking and felting, the follow-
ing is to be recommended: Dissolve
one ounce of potash in bucket Of
water, and leave the fabric in it for
twelve hours. Next warm the water,
with the fabric in it, and wash without
rubbing, also draw through repeatedly.
Next immerse the flannel in another
liquid containing one spoonful of wheat
flour to one bucket of water, and wash
in similar manner. Thus treated,
the flannel becomes nice and clean,
has barely shrunk, and almost not at
all felted. Scientific american
